1. Kindle Content License

Use of Kindle Content. Kindle Content is licensed, not sold, to you by the Content Provider. Upon your download or access of Kindle Content and payment of any applicable fees (including applicable taxes), the Content Provider grants you subject to the terms of this Agreement, including without limitation those in “Changes to Service; Amendments” below, a non-exclusive right to view, use, and display such Kindle Content (for Subscription Content, only as long as you remain an active member of the underlying membership or subscription program), solely through Kindle Software or as otherwise permitted as part of the Service, solely on the number of Supported Devices permitted for such Kindle Content, and solely for your personal, non-commercial use. Content Provider may include additional terms for use within its Kindle Content. Those terms will also apply, but this Agreement will govern in the event of a conflict. Some Kindle Content, such as interactive or highly formatted content, may not be available to you on all Kindle Software.

Limitations. Unless specifically indicated otherwise, you may not sell, rent, lease, distribute, broadcast, sublicense, or otherwise assign any rights to the Kindle Content or any portion of it to any third party, and you may not remove or modify any proprietary notices or labels on the Kindle Content. In addition, you may not attempt to bypass, modify, defeat, or otherwise circumvent any digital rights management system or other content protection or features used as part of the Service.

Book Returns. You may return a book you purchase from the Kindle Store as permitted in our return policy in the Kindle Store.

Risk of Loss. Risk of loss for Kindle Content transfers to you when you download or access the Kindle Content.

2. Use of Kindle Software

Permitted Devices. You may use Kindle Software only on Supported Devices.

Importing, Sharing, and Distributing Content. The Services may allow you to import, upload, export, share, submit, or otherwise distribute, content to yourself or others (“Distribute”). You may not Distribute content that contains child sexual abuse or other abusive materials, or that advocates hatred, violence, or terrorism. You may only Distribute content to another if you have their permission; you may not Distribute content that is unsolicited. You may Distribute content solely for your personal, non-commercial use; you may not charge, directly or indirectly, to Distribute content via any Service. You are solely responsible for all content that you Distribute. Amazon takes no responsibility and assumes no liability for any content that you, or any third party, Distribute. Amazon may investigate any suspected violation or other misuse of any Service, and may review and remove any content and associated metadata.

Additional Software Terms. For additional terms that apply to Kindle Software, see the Additional Amazon Software Terms in the [Amazon.com Conditions of Use](https://www.amazon.com/conditionsofuse), and any terms provided with Kindle Software (for example, in the Legal Notices or similar section).

3. Integration with Third-Party Services

When you link your Amazon account with a Third-Party Service, such as a cloud storage service, (i) that Third Party Service may share information with us about you and your use of the Third-Party Service, such as your contact information and the content you store or use in that Third-Party Service and (ii) Amazon may use, copy, modify, store, and display that information to provide and improve our services (for instance, to allow you to read shared content on Supported Devices). We will handle any information we receive in accordance with the Amazon.com Privacy Notice. You can find more information about integrating with Third-Party Services in our [Kindle Connections FAQ](https://www.amazon.com/kindle/connections) including how to disconnect your account.

4. General

Information Provided to Amazon. Kindle Software will provide Amazon with information about your use of the Kindle Software, including information about its interaction with Kindle Content, other content, and the Service (such as your last page read; content that you use, Distribute, or archive; your viewing data and search queries; and available memory, up-time, log files, and signal strength). Information provided to Amazon may be stored on servers outside the country in which you live. We will handle any information we receive in accordance with the [Amazon.com Privacy Notice](https://www.amazon.com/privacy).

Information Provided to Others. You are solely responsible for any information you provide to others using the Service. Use of information you provide to these third parties will be subject to any privacy notice or other terms that they may provide to you.

Termination; Fraud. Your rights under this Agreement will automatically terminate if you fail to comply with any term of this Agreement. We may also terminate your right to use the Service at any time, including if we determine your use violates any term of this Agreement or involves any fraud or misuse of the Service. In case of such termination, you must cease all use of the Service, and Amazon may immediately revoke your access to the Service without refund of any fees. Amazon's failure to insist upon or enforce your strict compliance with this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of any of its rights.

Changes to Service; Amendments. We may change, suspend, or discontinue the Service, in whole or in part, including adding or removing Subscription Content from a Service, at any time without notice. We may amend any of this Agreement's terms at our sole discretion by posting the revised terms on the Amazon.com website. Your continued use of any Kindle Software or any aspect of the Service after the effective date of the revised Agreement terms constitutes your acceptance of the terms.

Disputes. Any dispute or claim arising from or relating to this Agreement or the Service is subject to the sections on dispute resolution, governing law, disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability and all other terms in the [Amazon.com Conditions of Use](https://www.amazon.com/conditionsofuse).

Limitation of Liability. Without limiting the Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability in the [Amazon.com Conditions of Use](https://www.amazon.com/conditionsofuse), (1) in no event will our or our software licensors' total liability to you for all damages (other than as may be required by applicable law in cases involving personal injury) arising out of or related to your use or inability to use any Kindle Software exceed the amount of fifty dollars ($50.00); and (2) in no event will our or any other Content Provider's aggregate liability to you for all damages arising from your use of any Service (excluding Kindle Software) exceed the amount you actually paid for the Kindle Content or for the aspect of the Service related to your claim for damages. These limitations will apply to you even if the remedies fail of their essential purpose.
